ACORN CEO admits to be a socialist

This is something I start about a month ago, but never finished. Well... I'm finally getting around to it. ;-)

Fox News has got us covered again.

I find this to be a sick joke. Why? Here's a few things.

1. ACORN is an unofficial branch of the federal government which is under direct control of the Obama administration.
2. ACORN's CEO has admitted that the company is socialist.
3. One could conclude that the Obama administration is socialist.

 And let me tell you something else, Ms. Lewis.... You liberals get pissy with the whole name calling thing. Don't start something that you aren't prepared to get back!

What also upsets me is that fact that Ms. Lewis got a pass from the liberal media as all liberals do. Just imagine if conservatives had called the Obama movement a "bowel movement"! You're damn right they would have DEMANDED an IMMEDIATE, public apology. Include the fact that even she thinks that any opposition to Obama equal racism. When are Obama supporters going to understand that it's not about his race! It's about in politics!

Obama cowers before Mexico

As I normally do when I get stuff from the Grassfire Nation, I'll be adding my personal comments in boldface red.

Before you get into the meat of this, there are a few things I'd like to add.

Mexico is worse than us when it comes to illegal immigration. If you don't have the right papers in Mexico, you are deported, no questions ask.

Mexico is well known for shooting illegals crossing their southern boarder. Why don't you hear about it on the news? It's because they don't want America to know how hypocritical they really are.

What President Obama did yesterday in the Rose Garden with Mexican President Felipe Calderon was an affront to EVERY citizen in the U.S. Read the outrageous details and action items below. --Steve

Yesterday, while hosting Mexican President Calderon, Obama condemned the new Arizona immigration law saying it was "a misdirected expression of frustration," and that he was looking for a federal fix that "the nation could embrace." And that, Mr. President, would be a simple matter of securing our boarders and enforcing our immigration laws as Arizona is trying to do.

The only thing Obama needs to be looking for is a copy of SB1070 to read. Because if he read the new law he'd quickly understand that Arizonans are employing a federal fix by enforcing existing federal laws. But then again, does he actually read anything or is he more reactionary?

But as we've already seen from Attorney General Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano, reading the bill before condemning it is the norm with this Administration... Exactly.

And here's why!

Obama and his elitist cohorts are using the Arizona law to paint their political opponents as racists and xenophobes to accomplish two goals:

--to eliminate our border and introduce widespread amnesty

--to rally and prime their base for victories in November.

That's why Obama is posturing right now with Mexico's president - no doubt briefing him with the talking points to ratchet up the rhetoric against conservatives and the Tea Party movement.

They believe that the new Arizona law gives them their best opportunity to demonize and discredit us, and they are putting on a grand show to mislead those not in the know! Status quot. Sad fact is that there are too many of us not in the know and it's because they are allowing themselves to be lead around by the nose. Knowledge is power!

Take a moment right now to do two very important things.

First, sign our petition supporting Arizona's new immigration law (SB1070) by clicking below, and then call the White House and express your feelings about Obama turning his back on you in favor of Mexico (we've posted the White House numbers below).

If you aren't sure about the law, we've posted it and an important fact sheet separating fact from fiction on the petition!

Once we reach our goal of 100,000 signatures, we will deliver the petitions as a show of national support for Governor Jan Brewer as well as key lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

+ + Call the White House Today!

I'm urging ALL members of Grassfire Nation to call the White House today, put the President and his Administration on notice and express our frustration at him for condemning SB1070 and siding with Mexico!

Let's let Obama know that we understand his political game, and we simply aren't willing to allow him to disrespect the fine people of Arizona, our Constitution or the millions of patriots who are fighting against his socialist push.

Here is the White House comments line: 202-456-1111

If the line is busy, please call the White House switchboard at 202-456-1414 and ask to be connected to the comments line.

As always thank you for standing with Grassfire Nation.

P.S. If we let the Arizona attacks go unchallenged, we will give the Left the key to passing amnesty AND winning in November.

Military Pay Raise of 1.9% Likely in 2011

Before I start, here's a link to the article from Military.com that started this blog.

I'd like to say that this is so sick. I retired from 20 years of active duty to the Navy this past January. I served under George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and finally Barack Hussein Obama. Even Bill Clinton gave us better pay raises, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Why do I mention this? Simple. It's so you know that I know what I'm talking about.

I could say that I can't believe this is all the military is going to get, but it doesn't surprise me at all considering what Obama believes concerning military pay. He has talked in the past about CUTTING military pay. Yeah... Obama... who thinks that once you've made so much money, how much more do you need. The same Obama who is independently wealthy to the tune of $5.5 million dollars. Don't believe me? Here's the story from The Swamp.

What's also sad is that this 1.9% raise will be THE LOWEST since we became an all voluntary military back in 1973.

I like what Rep. Joe Wilson, a Republican from South Carolina has to say about this,

“I would challenge anyone to find a civilian job that has the same set of requirements and risks as those experienced by our military personnel. For me, the assertion that personnel costs are crowding out the ability to fund other defense priorities should not be solved by asking military personnel to take less.”

Besides, it's not like in the civilian world.

All enlisted men and women can't just quit to find another job when they want to without consequences (some serious such as jail time). They are under contract, which means they are under obligation to complete that contract before they can quit.

Some officers are under the same contract with the same consequences for breaking their contract. Those that aren't are allowed to get out whenever they want, but it does take some time for paperwork to be cleared.

Military men and women (both enlisted and officers) cannot ask for a pay raise. The closest they can come to that is ensuring that they do what they have to do in order to advance in rank.

Military men and women (both enlisted and officers) cannot ask to work more hours to get more pay. They don't get overtime. They don't get time and a half for working on holidays or the weekend. They don't get a night differential for working at night. They get paid a flat rate no matter how many hours they put into a day or night. When I was still active duty, I used to shift work for 12 hours at a time, both day and night. I even had to work extra shifts to cover for people on vacation. I'd average as much as a 60 hour work week. I NEVER got any extra pay for that.

Lastly, I'd like to say that if the federal government is SO worried about the money they spend, they why did they waste SO much in earmarks in their health care reform bill? Why did they waste SO much in order to "bail out" companies that should have been allowed to fail? It's a natural process in a free economy. Sure, it really sucks for the employees, but you can't save everyone. They should be allowed to fail because it makes them work harder known that they could fail.
